Do you sweet things have your Halloween costumes picked out already? For the past few years, Chris and I have come up with our costume ideas well before October, but for some reason, we’re still undecided. If you’re in a relationship at Halloween, do you dress up as a couple?

Chris and I usually wear Halloween costumes that play off of each other and last year’s were among my all-time favorites. We dressed as Brian Johnson (Chris) and Angus Young (me) of AC/DC.

My love of matching costumes came about long before I started dating—as angsty teens, my best friend Lauren and I dressed up as characters from Sailor Moon. And one of the best matching costume themes I’d ever heard of came from a former colleague; he dressed his young children up in the most adorable costumes. His three daughters were cute insects (bumblebee, lady bug and butterfly) and his son wore an itty bitty exterminator’s uniform!

Have you ever dressed in coordinating costumes with a boyfriend, friend or group of friends? If so, let’s hear all about it in the comments.

And if you have a picture of these fantastic matching costumes, feel free to send it to us by clicking here—email your photos to us by Friday October 22 and we’ll do our best to feature as many as we can the following Monday. Be sure to share a few fun details about your cool costumes!
